I grew up as the youngest grandchild on my Jensen side. In fact, me and my 4 brothers are THE youngest 5 grandkids on the entire side. Our parents divorced when I was 10 and as a result we were just not very close to the Jensen side. I had a couple cousins in the state in June for our aunt Norma's wedding. I was finally able - at the age of 46 to finally meet the last of my first cousins! Norma's son Kevin was the last one on my list to meet! I only met Shelly, his sister just last year. Well Shelly was back to Utah again from Idaho, for Norma's 89th birthday. My cousin Julie was also in from Oregon. We decided to get together for a lunch. Just us girls. Then we decided to do it later in the evening because of work. Then we decided to invite ALL the cousins. Almost all of us were there! We JUST missed getting cousin Gloria - she had just left to go back home to Atlanta, we missed Michael, Kevin, Kathy and Glen. Glen came down with covid and Kathy's husband Steve got covid too. So we missed them. But we had the rest! It was so good to see everyone, to talk and catch up on each others lives. Turns out that most of the cousins had lost touch with each other after childhood so it was a fantastic get together for everyone.
